Let Kids ‘Fall’ into Yardwork

Fall is a great time of year to get out and do those chores that have been building up – rake leaves, spread compost, overseed, plant new perennials, trees and bushes to develop good root systems, and so on. 

One of several ideas is to let kids go even further:  The kids also help with composting, mowing the lawn, creating unique garden art, planting markers and harvesting the berries and vegetables.

Kids can be part of your Fall chores.  For some more inspiration, read this article.  Do you have a suggested chore that kids could do in the Fall?
